Silvio Berlusconi Might Be In Trouble This Time, Again

Is this
the end of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi? “Today saw
the results of four referendum votes in Italy to repeal
Berlusconi-era legislation on nuclear power, water privatisation
and trial immunity for government ministers. The last of these has
been fundamental in allowing the semi-despotic prime minister to
continue his rule free of the tiresome hassle of legal action on
charges of corruption and sexual harassment. This referendum has
finally given Italian voters the opportunity to bring the charade
to an end, with a resounding 95 per cent of voters coming down
against the government’s policies.” Berlusconi has been written off
plenty of times before, and is
still telling jokes as if he doesn’t have a care in the world,
but with a sour electorate and close friends referring to him as
“ill,”
maybe it is last call. Maybe.#
